BOOK....A coffee-table book chronicles a hold up as well as times of a demure Chief Minister.
WITH 390 pages, it's complicated at 2.5 kg (5.5 lbs). Yet a charming coffee-table book upon Sabah Chief Minister Musa Aman doesn't utterly do justice to his achievements by a approach such books go.
But 'Leading a way' has served a purpose. It chronicles a hold up as well as times of a personality in his own right who stands out as a demure statesman who in nine reduced years has brought a resource-rich north Borneo island state onto a threshold of a high-income nation.
The book was launched by Juhar Mahiruddin, Sabah's Head of State, with many pushing prior to 1,000 cooking guest at a Magellen Sutera Resort upon Mar 28; dual days prior to Musa distinguished his 61st birthday.
Joseph Pairin Kitingan, his deputy, paid him a wise tribute. He described him as a loyal Malaysian who puts aside secular differences to move assent as well as prosperity to his 3.2m people who include Malays, indigenous Kadazan-Dusuns as well as Muruts, Bajaus, suluks as well as racial Chinese as well as Indians. Musa is a descendent of Kadazan-Dusuns, Malay as well as racial Chinese.
! "He knows which as Chief Minister, he cannot have any racial bias," Pairin pronounced of Musa, adding which it was a service to him when a revolution of a arch ministership finished in 2003 as he took office. Musa could absolved himself of a 'Muslim Bumiputra' tag which came with his office, according to Pairin.
Musa has been a many innovative arch apportion with a conspicuous foresight. So many so which he was forward of his time when he launched a Sabah Development Corridor in 2008. It is to move 105 billion ringgit ($ 34 billion) of investments as well as emanate 900,000 jobs over eighteen years.
The SDC has thus since Sabah a head start when Prime Minister Najib Razak launched his massive 1.4-trillion ringgit mercantile mutation programme in 2010 which will have Malaysia a tall income nation in 8 years. Average income by 2020 will be about 48,000 ringgit compared to 26,500 ringgit now.
The economy was sluggish when Musa succeeded Chong Kah Kiat as Sabah's 14th arch minister. But by his three-prong Halatuju mercantile devise in building industries from agriculture, tourism as well as production to move his state out of a backwaters of first exports, Sabah has been chalking up vast surpluses year after year.
Sabah's mercantile spending has reached an all time tall of 4 billion ringgit this year; done probable by prudent financial government as well as innovative income era which have combined to a state's reserves of some-more than 3 billion ringgit. This has earned regard from Malaysia's Auditor-General Ambrin Buang for 11 true years.
As a cons! ervation ist, Musa is peerless as he is praised by Britain's venerable Royal Society. He has put almost 4m hectares of pristine forests, somewhat some-more than half a size of Sabah, in a Heart of Borneo for conservation.
But a greatest fame has come from three prime ministers including Najib. They say, with hindsight, which they have done a right decision in having Musa as Sabah's arch minister. (Insight Sabah- Pictures by Ille Tugimin)
